Its approaches derive from qualitative and theoretical research, which includes a sociohistorical analysis in the field of education based on documentary and bibliographic data, reports and legislation. To this end, the context of the intersection of several crises, the processes of democratization, the field of education and memory and the formation of the subject of law were articulated andexamined through the theoretical framework of human rights education. This analysis pointed out the need to develop transformative education capable of contributing to the prevention of serious human rights violations in the region. The conclusion is that democracy, memory, and the formation of the subject of law are central axes of human rights education and need to be addressed jointly.
